Sunday 25th September 2005 - Course E1/30

Mark Edmonds recorded a time of 1.14.31 for 12th place and Jim Miller 1.28.00 for 30th place in the Lea Valley 30, won by
Jason White (JD Cycles) in a rapid 1.5.15 which broke Keith Andrewartha's record from the 32nd Assoc event by over 2 minutes.

Saturday 24th Sepetember 2005 - Course E1/10

Paul was the fastest of a large turnout of Easterley members and friends of Paul's whom he had pursuaded to ride - 19 seconds
quicker than Julia. Jim Lewis did a pb of 28.30 which was his first time inside 'evens'. Richard Jordan's 6th place was enough to
secure his overall victory in the Club Events Points Championship.

Wednesday 7th September 2005 - Course E91/10

The float conditions of the morning were replaced by a stiff breeze in the afternoon and made the going harder than the previous
week. Andy improved by 4 seconds to 24.07 for 8th place overall and 3rd Handicap. Fastest was Gary Poole (Api) in 22.29

Wednesday 31st August 2005 - Course E91/10

Brian Bent and Andy Ballentyne both rode this midweek event in the hot and windy conditions with Brian recording 34.10 and
Andy 24.11 although he was suffering from sore legs after a hard weekend's racing. Fastest by a long way was professional
Jamie Burrow (Amore E Vita/PCA Ciclos Uno) with an extremely rapid 20.19 who was getting in some time trialling practise before
this weekend's circuit championships. Second place was Jason White in 21.03

Wednesday 24th August 2005 - Course E38/18

Both Julia Freeman and husband (and 2nd claim member) Steve punctured in the torrential rain and windy conditions that
greeted the riders in this midweek event. Andy Ballentyne chose to place safe with pressures rather than tubs and with the
road flooded in places didn't regret that descision in view of the number of punctures suffered by riders during the event,
although he was disappointed with his time of 52.06. The winner was Glenn Taylor (APi) in 45.43 which put him well clear of
joint second placed riders Martin Meades and Neil Dowie (both Api) in 46.46, even though Glenn also suffered from a puncture
near the finish.

Sunday 14th August 2005 - Course E18/11

Julia Freeman did 1-3-23 for 11th overall in this Spoco counting event. Fastest overall was Jason White in an amazing 54-41
who beat next placed rider Paul Smith by 3 minutes. Fastest lady was Julia Shaw in 1-2-18. Julia confesses to being a bit
disappointed with her ride as she did not feel that great.

Tuesday 9th August 2005 - Course E14/10

As happened last year, it all came down to a nailbiting climax to the evening 10 series with Andy needing to win to take the
series which is decided on the best 10 places out of the 15 events. Andy's time of 24.05 was his third best of the series and quite
respectable considering he had just come back from holiday, but Paul had saved the best till last and did another PB for the
course in 23.53. Julia was third just one second behind Andy.

This all means that Paul retains the Twilight Trophy with 180 points and Andy was
second with 172. Julia was third with 140 and first Lady.

Tuesday 2nd August 2005 - Course E14/10

Paul was fastest of the three Easterley members and in Andy's absence retakes the lead the
Twilight Trophy. This means that if Andy can win the final event he will take the
series by two points. If not then Paul will win.

Tuesday 26th July 2005 - Course E14/10

It was very close between the top three with Andy coming home 3 seconds ahead of Paul, who was a further 3 seconds faster
than Julia. Paul's 12 year old son Jim, after his win in the National Youth Series event at Milton Keynes and then the London
to Cambridge (and back) at the weekend, did a PB of 30.10 with the added incentive of new carbon forks if he can break evens.

Andy moves ahead of Paul by 2 points in the Twilight Trophy in both the overall total,
but more importantly the best 10 performances which decide the trophy. Andy however misses next week and so will need to beat Paul
in the final event.

Tuesday 19th July 2005 - Course E14/10

Conditions were breezy but with the wind in the right direction meant a fast run down to the Alma Arms.
Andy just got the better of Paul to close the gap to 3 points in the Twilight Trophy
with 3 events remaining. Both Andy and Paul will start to drop their worst performances as they now have 10 qualifying times.

Southend Wheelers 50

Sunday 17th July - Course E21/50

Another week and another club record for Julia Freeman! Julia was 6th overall in the Southend event with a 2.6.06 to knock
another two minutes off her own Vets 40-49 record set in the Maldon event this year.
Fastest was Paul Smith (Shaftesbury CC) in 1.56.06.

Tuesday 12th July 2005 - Course E14/10

After the previous two events being cancelled (road works and heavy rain), conditions were very good although the light breeze
was the wrong direction for the course. Andy just missed going under 24 minutes (although he was held up by a horse and cart
which cost a few seconds) to beat Paul by 24 seconds. Paul was feeling tired however after his ride in Le Marmotte cyclo sportive.
Julia recorded 25 dead and new members Andy Ellis and Joanna Burch Brown both improved to 26.22 and 33.45 respectively.

Essex Roads CC 10

Sunday 10th July - Course E91/25

Julia Freeman and new member Andy Ellis both rode the Essex Roads 25 on the E91/25. Julia record an excellent 1-00-34 for 8th
overall, 1st lady and 2nd lady on handicap for another vets record and a probable Ladies course record. Andy Ellis was more
disappointed with his ride however, recording 1-7-32.
Fastest was Nick Hastler (Essex Roads) in 57-34, just catching Julia for 3 minutes on the line!

Maldon 10

Saturday 2nd July - Course E21/10

Julia rode the Maldon 10 and did 24.07 to be beaten by Sue Wright by 1 second in the humid conditions.
Fastest was Glenn Taylor in 22-18.

ECCA 25

Sunday 26th June 2005 - Course E4/25

Mark Edmonds did 59.45 in the ECCA E4/25 for 12th overall and 3rd on handicap. The winner was Keith Andrewartha (Shaftesbury CC) with an excellent 53.18 and Murat Ozdenya (PCA Ciclos Uno) 2nd in 53.51.

Shaftesbury Middlemarkers 25

Saturday 25th June 2005 - Course E2/25

Andy BAllentyne did a 57.21 for a PB (last three years) and a 4.11 improvement to win the biggest improvement prize in the Shaftesbury Middlemarkers 25 (56.30 LTS) although he had hoped to go a bit quicker and perhaps get a time that would put him in good stead for the Billroy trophy fastest 25 on age standard). He rode his track bike (92.6") but probably would have been better off on his low profile as the wind was a lot stronger at Newmarket than at home and could have used a bigger gear going out. Winner of the event was Chaz Hollosi (Gemini BC) in 54.50

Tuesday 21st June 2005 - Course E14/10

The warm conditions with just a gentle breeze allowed a number of riders to inprove this week. Andy went back to his preferred fixed wheel but dropped the gear down to 90.6" and managed to get inside 24 minutes for the first time on this course. His first lap time of 11.47 was exactly the same as Mark Edmonds who was making his first outing of the year. Mark however was quicker on the second lap however and recorded 23.42 for the win.

Tuesday 7th June 2005 - Course E14/10

Slightly colder conditions with the wind against on the longest stretch meant times were a bit slower than last week. Andy repeated last week's win however Julia went back the most - hampered by a crooked shoe plate.

Maldon and District CC 50

Sunday 5th June 2005 - Course E21/50

Another week and another Vets record for Julia. This time is was the 50 record which in the windy conditions she completed in a time of 2-8-12 for 12th place overall and 3rd in her group to take over 4 minutes off her Mother Wendy's time from 1989. Fastest was Paul Smith in 1-55-20.

Tuesday 31st May 2005 - Course E14/10

The warm and calm conditions meant the majority of riders improved this week, with Andy improving more than most on his preferred fixed wheel to take the win in 24.16 ahead of Julia and Paul, although Julia was delayed by horses.

Saturday 28th May 2005 - Course Q24/10

Julia finally broke the 24-20 barrier to get the Vets 40-50 record from her mother Wendy. She rode the SPOCO Woolwich 10 on the Q24/10 on the Isle of Grain in Kent to record 23-59. The course is flat course but exposed and in the windy conditions she had to the drops all the way back from the turn although it was very fast out. The winner was Paul Smith in 21-35.

Tuesday 24th May 2005 - Course E14/10

There were only small improvements this week in the windy conditions although it was a bit warmer than the previous event. Paul Martin was again the only one to break 25 minutes and continued to extend his lead in the Twilight Trophy.

Shaftesbury CC 10

Saturday 14th May 2005 - Course E3/10

Julia just missed the Ladies Vets 40-50 record again, this time by 2 seconds after equalling her own Mother's record last year. Her time of 24.22 put her 43 seconds clear of Sue Gray to win the Ladies events and also gave her a prize for the 3rd biggest improvment. The conditions were far from ideal however as Zak Carr's time of 20.38 showed and it is surely only a matter of time before she does get the record.

Tuesday 10th May 2005 - Course E14/10

Julia didn't let a slow puncture hinder her down on the way to winning the second event of the series on a chilly evening. Her time of 25.06 was too good for Paul and Andy who both went back on the first event. Richard got the better of Russell by four seconds and Simon, Jim and Brian all improved as well.

Saturday 30th April - 10 mile - Eastway

Julia Freeman was fastest Lady in the first event of the Festival, the 10 mile time trial around the Eastway Cycle Circuit. She covered the 10 laps of the undulating course in 25.44. Winner of the event was last year's Junior National 10 mile Champion, Alex Dowsett (Glendene CC) in a rapid 22.08

Sunday 1st May - E91 25m Time Trial

Julia Freeman was again fastest lady and her time of 1.1.30 on the sporting E91 course broke her own Vets 40-50 year 25 mile record by 7 seconds. Paul Martin, no doubt feeling the effects of the previous day's 210km ride in the Omloop Het Volk recorded 1.2.05, and Simon Macfeeters was the third Easterley counter in 1.9.52.

Winner of the event was multi national champion Michael Hutchinson (API-Metrow Foods) in a new course and event record of 51.16.

Tuesday 26th April 2005 - Course E14/10

Paul Martin was the quickest in the first evening 10 of the year in a time of 25.03, 19 seconds quicker than Andy and a further minute ahead of Julia. Richard Jordan and Simon Macfeeters resumed their rivalry with Richard gaining his revenge from the club 25. Andy Page (PCA Ciclos Uno) was the fastest rider on the night, his time of 24:44 reflecting the stiff headwind on the first leg of each lap.

32nd Association '30'

Sunday 24th April 2005 - Course E1/30

The Shaftesbury's Keith Andrewartha broke his own course record with a 1:7:20 to win the overall event by over 2 minutes from club mate Paul Smith (1:9:35). The Easterley's Andy Ballentyne was 5th overall with 1:14:11 to turn the tables on 8th placed Julia Freeman (1:15:24) who beat him in the club open hilly. Julia however beat her own Vets 40-50 30 record of 1:16:07 which she set last year in the same event. Richard Jordan was 16th overall with 1:23:05 to take an early lead in the Club Events Points Championship.

Easterley Open Hilly '25'

Sunday 3rd April 2005 - Course E1/26 - 25.2 miles

Michael Hutchinson (API - Metrow) scored an expected win in our Open Hilly 25.2 mile time trial around the undulating Thaxted Circuit. He was more than 3 minutes clear of 2nd placed rider, veteran Ray Hughes (Clarence Wheelers) who were the only two to go under the hour.

The Easterley's own Julia Freeman was the fastest Lady to win the Maud Harrison trophy in 1.8.55 with the Shaftesbury's Claire Lee in second spot with 1.11.55, although Claire had the consolation of being in the winning team along with Bruce Robinson (1.2.15) and Dave Meisner (1.14.10).

32nd Association '25'

Sunday 27th March 2005 - Course E1/25

Simon MacFeeters made his racing comeback after many years out to record 1.11.44 in the 32nd Association 25 and just get the better of Richard Jordan by 10 seconds. To quote Simon 'The two fat blokes went head to head in the 32nd association 25 on Easter Sunday with me riding my first 25 for 4 years and first competitive race for three years beating Richard by 10 seconds thus setting up a potential season long challenge. The respective times were 1:11:44 and 1:11:54, ridden on the E1 in dull cold conditions leaving plenty of room for improvement over the coming months'!
Fastest in the event was Keith Andrewartha (Shaftesbury CC) in 58.34 on a chilly morning with Paul Smith (Shaftesbury CC) second in 59.31 and Chris Negus (Shaftesbury CC) third in 1.00.58.

Hainault Hilly '50' km

Sunday 6th March 2005 - Course E14/28 - 28.8 miles

The continuing cold and icy conditions caused the start to be delayed by half an hour, which together with a nagging head wind on some stretches meant the times were significantly slower than previous years.
Andy Ballentyne gave his new road bike a try out and despite the saddle coming loose at half distance, went round in 1.24.53 which was good enough to win the Vets 40-50 prize and the Group C award.
Fastest was Tristan Davenne (Elite CC) in 1.16.10 followed by Jason White (J.D.Cycles) in 1.16.35.

Club Hilly 20

Sunday 27th Feb 2005 - Course E17/20

This event was cancelled due to snow and icy conditions making the course potentially unsafe
